The magazine holds the cartridges, I don’t know how many but any more than two is truly remarkable for this calibre. Next you load up the magazine and slide it in to the handle grip. Rack the slide back manually – or if you load correctly it is already locked in the back position. Moving the slide forward (actually the spring inside moves it for you at this point) takes the top cartridge from the magazine and holds it in place, with the bullet in the barrel ready to fire. The sliding back of the slide also “primes” the firing pin / pulls the hammer back. Once the cartridge is correctly chambered the hammer / pin will strike the cartridge primer when the trigger is fully pulled.

Once the hammer is pulled the primer is hit by either the firing pin or the hammer – depending on design – and the bullet is fired from the gun. This causes recoil which, in most pistols of this nature, is used to move the slide back again, ejecting the empty cartridge case while simultaneously cocking the hammer / “priming” the firing pin for the next shot! Ingenious! A spring on the inside of the slide then moves the slide forward again, loading the next cartridge.

Some firearms do not use the recoil but instead capture some of the gas created by the gunpowder / smokeless powder in the cartridge. These are referred to as gas operated or blow back mechanisms. Recoil operated ones are referred to as recoil operated… for rather obvious reasons.

This particular Desert Eagle manages to be even more laughable than it’s amazingly smaller brothers (Deagles are BIG) because the .50 BMG is a very large calibre rifle cartridge. Even by other large rifle cartridge standards (.30-06, 7.62x54R for example) this things is BIG. To put it in to a pistol is silly to begin with, but a single-shot pistol or two do exist that… almost… bring the cartridge into the world of plausible usefulness in a pistol frame. This monstrosity with its magazine feed is quite simply a terrible joke. It exists because it can. Using this is going to end very badly, even for a very experienced shooter.

I’ve lived in America long enough to know they go like “what the fuck you liar” when offered extended explanations, such as the one above. I’m not sure what to say about the second sentence, though. However, I’d gladly abandon this site if I receive no more replies.
By the way, congrats on becoming one of the idiots that baffle me with their lack of sense and thinking capability. Have a great day infecting the rest of the Internet with your stupidity.

Yes, it seems like it would hold one of those larger rounds. Like the 50 Cal Barret bolt action rifle.
It’s technically called a .50 BMG (Browning Machine Gun) round.
Very big, and pretty insane to hold given how you need a pretty big hand to hold a regular Desert Eagle comfortably.

They should have used a pic of the 10″ barrelled version – you might actually be able to ream out a ‘chamber’ and have something of a barrel left. It would probably end up as straight-pull only though!

Man, you are redicilous.
Befor sayaing stupid thing like thet, just take the time to GOGGLE-IT a little bie (GOOGLE-IT min to go on GOOGLE, the website and do some research)
If you dont want that caliber inside your ass to do silencer, that way you are going to see it’s so powerfull, your ass it’s not going to change is trajectory, you now wat, becose the shit you have inside your brains it’s the some you have in you ass ass hole…..
So, to finishe, before saying stupide thing again, juste google-it before and that way you are not to be insulte stupide mother fuckenn shity-burnbrain…
GOOGLE ASS-HOLE…

Presumably the ejection port would be larger because of the much longer slide, and spent cartridges don’t fly out of the port completely horizontal, they fly out at an angle, so the 50 BMG could probably be ejected

Yeah, the guys over at IMI (being the amateur rookie gunbuilders they are) decided theyd make a pistol that you cant fit your hand around….all who say this is real are dumb fucks…try and find a different picture of the .50 “BMG” deag…you wont its only that same pic all over the net

Hah, this is pretty good, It did spark innovation to actually want to make a Rifle that Sports the “look” of the desert eagle, probably in .357, .44Mag, 440 Corbon, 50AE, 500 S&W Mag. And some odd rifle calibers such as the 25WSSM, 7.92x33Kurz, 450 bush master, 50 Beowolf, perhaps a few others.

You must be new here. Writing something like that isn’t a direct attack against anyone, no matter whom they may be. Do yourself a favour and start a thread in 4chan(.org)’s /b/ (Random) section about what you find offensive. Reach 30 replies in any way possible, and then come back here. Until then, I’ve no reason to speak with you.

How bout no thanks. Why do you feel the need to be a douche to everyone on here. It was a direct attack and you know it. Does it make you feel good to try to out smart people on here. No one cares about what you have to say on this site.
